ABOUT PEGGY PORSCHEN
- Founded in 2003, the company is globally seen as a ‘trend-setter’ in the world of cakes. A hands-on British company that not only reflects Peggy’s life-long love of baking, but also celebrates beautiful craftsmanship, inspired by romance, fashion and femininity.
- Opened in 2010, the highly recognisable pastel pink Parlour in the heart of London’s Belgravia, has become a destination for cake and style lovers from all over the world. With highly creative seasonal window installations, and collections to match, the Parlour has become an Instagram sensation, drawing the crowds for its visual appearance as much as the cakes and confectionary. Visitors to the Parlour sample from Peggy and her talented team of pasty chef’s latest collection of freshly baked cupcakes, cookies and layer cakes. With a focus on quality ingredients, traditional baking methods and creative flavours, it’s no surprise that the Parlour boasts many award-winning creations, and is widely tipped as a top place to visit in London. Guests can take a seat in, or outside, the Parlour and relax in its fairy tale surroundings while friendly and highly-trained waiting staff ensure a magical experience. Take away options are also available from the counter for those not wishing to eat in. In March 2019, the Peggy Porschen Group opened its second outpost and new flagship, Peggy Porschen Chelsea. Situated at 219 King’s Road, the new opening enjoys a prime location in the bustling heartland of Chelsea. With an attractive corner positioning, the Chelsea Parlour boasts maximum curb appeal matching the now ‘Insta-famous’ arches and striking fairytale pink facade of its Belgravia sibling.
